Do you have deep talks with your pet(s)?

[@stargazer7696]

Yes I do, talk more with my cat than people

[@Magic_Pumpkin_Poetry]

I have a pic somewhere of my pet snails watching Nightwish while I dish up their food and yes I chat to them haha

Ofcourse I do..... those conversations are a lot more pleasant then with my 5 teenage kids 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Of course! I have two girls (cats) and we talking every day🤣

Hans Zimmer & Floor collaboration when? If my two favorite artists ever got together that would be the best thing mankind has ever created

Weekend is better with Floor and Fan Friday! Woo hoo!!!😁❤

Question- Do you notice a lot of fans express how emotional you make them feel when they meet you? Your voice and aura does exactly that to me. I’m sure thats what I would express if I were to ever meet you :)

[@edwarddoss1006]

I am 67 and until last year I had never cried to music. Floor has changed everything for me. Just talking about Floor or Nightwish to my friends makes me get emotional and I have to stop. When I heard Alone I cried like a little child.

[@laudatosiadastra1218]

@@edwarddoss1006 I totally get you Edward and thanks for sharing your story. Personally, about 10 months ago I heard Floor for the first time - GLS at Wacken 2013 and it changed everything for me. I had never seen such beauty in my life... Back in 2012 I had menengitis and it left me emotionless and burn´t out for so long. I cried for the first time in a decade after hearing Floor. She was the key to unlocking my emotions and allowing me to see beauty in this world again. It´s kind of a big deal because I couldn´t enjoy life, couldn´t sleep at night and was so burn´t out and running on fumes. Now I listen to Floor for hours each day and it has literally turned me into the biggest cry baby but the result of all the emotion through goosebumps or tears has been profound. Despite having ongoing issues related to my brain , I now live life inspired and grateful for everyday. I see so much beauty in life and importantly I´m no longer ´a whore for the cold world`. Sometimes I pinch myself to see if I´m living in a dream. This is real and I will always be grateful for that :)

[@edwarddoss1006]

@@laudatosiadastra1218 Thank you for your personal story. That was beautiful and touching. Myself I stopped listening to music because I could not find anything that I liked. Finding Floor on Beste Zangers has changed my life. I listen to Floor everyday myself. If I ever feel sad I just play My Walden and it makes me happy. If you need anything just email I will be there. You are inspirational and I hope Floor reads your story.

[@laudatosiadastra1218]

@@edwarddoss1006 Well I´m very happy you discovered Floor too. Really love that Beste Zangers series and I felt I really got to know how Floor is as a person with her take on those songs. Thanks for your kind message and all the best to you :)

[@SebastianDBR]

What kind of magic do you use when you sing "Laudato si"? (however, like everything else). Because the emotionality of such moments is beyond perception!

[@Marie-Therese1]

🐈 "You can never have a great weekend without a good start" never a truer word spoken. Fan Friday is a fantastic way to kick it off, thanks Floor 😻 Have an amazing weekend everyone! ❤

[@laartje24]

Well, I had a pretty bad start to my weekend, so I guess I am now gonna prove you all wrong :p

I'm loving these fan Fridays with our resident Goddess Floor..and kitty. 😂💜

Classic cat. Annoy you until you notice them, then ignore you if you call. As soon as you stop calling, up they jump because it was of course their idea.

Another VERY nice Fan Friday. Now that we've seen Elsa and Fenris the past few weeks, it's time to do another horse episode!

[@kimstrom7793]

Oh yes Hans Zimmer is amazing! Probably my favourite music to relax to apart from Nightwish and Pink Floyd 👌 Have a nice weekend!

Oooh 1st question about musicals is actually good and I'd love to hear Floor singing Defying gravity from Wicked!!!!

[@Josephhikes]

Love Fan Friday !! I live in a small Texas town and I don’t know any other Nightwish fans except a few people I’ve introduced to Nightwish .But the other day in Home Depot I was wearing my Nightwish T-shirt and a guy said hay Im a Nightwish fan ! Instant friends! Of course he Loves you Too ! 👍🤟🤠

[@10animallover10]

I should go out and wear my t-shirts more often too, I guess.. Looking for close-by Nightwish fellow friends, too! Happy you found a new fellow fan/friend!

Aside from being our one true metal goddess,thank you for not only us rocking out to your voice but also the emotion we experience at the same time.your humbleness,your love for singing,charisma,stage presence.the list goes on and on.i havent seen any other singer in my lifetime that has the whole package.again thank you for you being you and i will continue to rock out with your music🤘😊

Hi Floor. How do you like your new garage makeover? Is the garage still nice and neat? 👍🤘🤘👍

The Queen is back. Just discovered "Human II Nature"......absolutely stunning.....I love Tribal and the 2nd CD too.

I was a fan of Floor before this video, and I'm even more of a fan now. Keep doing your thing Floor! The more we can hear you sing, the better.

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Hello Floor, did you notice any changes in your voice after you gave birth? Some other singers have said this about their voices (I can't hear any difference other than your growing in expressing emotions - even more.. And thank you for a super start on the weekend 👍 🤘 🤘

[@rosegranger2872]

I just have to say thank you so much for your FanFridays! Not only are they always super interesting, but I also met one of the coolest people I know because of a FanFriday video a couple of weeks ago. So thanks for bringing people together xD

[@johnlindquist1784]

Sort of an odd question but here goes - the ending of Ghost Love Score has changed quite a bit from Jukka just bashing his cymbals to Kai totally going off. Who's doing was that? Was it a change that Tuomas wanted to make or was Kai instrumental (no pun intended) in that? Or was it just a natural evolution of things? Whatever it was, I really like the way it ends now - seems more fitting and epic (and it's SO much fun watching you and Emppu!).

[@lekalla]

Definitely just because drummer changed. It's not like Tuomas has to tell Kai what to do.

[@als7960]

The goddess answered my question. Life is complete.

[@raymonhinegardner6538]

It is absolutely mind blowing watching you perform beyond incredible. However, it's just as awesome for you to share your personal life with us. Thank you.

Can't wait for you to come back to America! Just saw your husband with Sabaton in Milwaukee a couple nights ago. Outstanding Performance. Can't wait to see you guys sometime!

Is there a song by Nightwish you haven’t had the chance to sing live yet, that you would really like to preform?

Is there a possibility to cover Black velvet with your sister Irene? Would love to hear you both sing that

[@10animallover10]

That's a good question! I'd like to know that, too!

[@annemarijeplaizier2942]

How about 'Let it go'?

[@oneknight55]

It's interesting how much Emppu & Marco move around on stage in Nightwish videos. Is that by design, or just on impulse? Sometimes it looks like a "oh shit moment", I should be over there. haha.

[@10animallover10]

Tnx for that theory. I am going to pay more attention now. Maybe I'll also spot some 'Oh shit' moments :P xD

[@MsCatstaff]

For Emppu, I always thought of it as a cat moment... you know, when cats do that thing where they're sitting somewhere and then suddenly decide "I gotta be over there right the heck now!" and run for it so fast that they practically go arse over teakettle when they stop. Especially in Shudder Before the Beautiful at Wembley, when he was over by Tuomas when Floor started the "A very good evening..." bit, and he darted across the stage so fast it looked like he skidded into his low power stance!

[@billattercliffe8655]

OK, now you have let the Japanese cat out of the bag, you have to fill us in, especially after watching you slice the air with a katana. And there's that front snap kick you launched at the Sabaton guitarist after he tried to kick you in the butt. Karate anyone? Inquiring minds need to know . . . BTW, how's Fenris with the horses?

[@timmackey2896]

Just stumbled upon you and night wish, been retired over a year now and perusing you tube. Had no idea the the breadth of what is out there. Had no time while working. Now I have discovered two amazing vocalist. Your range, dynamics, breath control and emotional control are amazing, you have made me cry numerous times. The other is a child who,at age 7 now 15 , who can rip,your heart out and wave bye after the song. Angelina Jordan is her name. So now In retirement when not playing with my grand children I am watching you two.

Did you ever start talking dutch with Anneke or Arjen while english friends were around just out of "home country habbit"? :3

[@alleninfinity6730]

Very nice, always look forward to what you have to say, and thinking in so many languages never thought about that aspect of it. I bet when you get angry though the Dutch flies out easily, though a few words seem to be universal and understood by all.

[@joshuaburba1048]

Wow, that was cool Floor, the fact that you took the time to answer fan questions. Thank you. I'm trilingual (no big deal for a European, but being an American it tends to surprise many people), and I often forget the second language (Spanish) because I so often speak in either English or the third language (Romanian, because my wife is from there). So, yes it's confusing. I have Hispanic students, and when I try to speak Spanish with them, usually Romanian words come out by accident. Oops. Take care.

[@10animallover10]

I immediately clicked on it when it popped up in my notifications! Thank you for the video! It was very much appreciated sinc eit was a LONG week and this is a great way to start the weekend I looked forward to, to recharge! :) The cat question made my day xD I also talk to my cat quite a lot and the nice little text bulbs you added were hilarious xD Looks like Elsa is also done with the pandemic xD I would LOVE to see you in a movie/series, esspecially Viking-like. At least a protect in 'the old ages' where people rode horses, traveled by old ships and lived in small villages with lots of nature still left (and mythology themes would be a great bonus!) Japanese blood? That is very interesting! I would not have guessed that :) German is not a surprise, lots of Dutch people have (me included somewhere back. Also France I think..) but Japanese is very cool! Ik wens je en je familie een goed weekend! Tot de volgende keer! :D

[@keltarking]

Hello! I actually found out about you very recently and I have SO MUCH catching up to do, but your singing blew my mind and I'm already a huge fan! :D

[@cynthiatolman326]

The question about your voice changing is similar to what I've noticed. Watching some older videos, to me your voice has become richer and more versatile. Practicing and performing for so many years would surely have this effect. I'm sure you have gained more confidence in your talent and ability as well. Thank you for many hours of enjoyment.

Now I just have to find out how I can survive the way to many months until the show will be broadcasted. 😁
